Because of harming the freedom of speech I was against of this law
a year before. But I change my mind after Turkish patriots' actions
in Lion. "Bozgurds" did it.
Turkish diplomacy declared that Turkish people support these attacks.
We could not pat attention to the disputes on freedom of speech
after the events happened in Lion. We should have thought about our
security. We needed legal mechanism that could protect Armenians
in France," Patrick Devechiyan, Armenian Parliamentarian, one of
the authors of the law that was adopted in France parliament said,
APA reports. Devechiyan said that they worked for three years for
France to recognize Armenian genocide and they can wait for the law
for a long time.
"We are waiting for 90 years," he said. He said that only foreign
pressure can change official Ankara's position.
It should be noted that Devechiyan was born in France, but he is
from Elazig region of Turkey by origin. His father was an official
during Ottoman Empire. Formerly being the lawyer of ASALA terrorists,
Devechiyan also worked as minister in France. At present he is the
leader of popular Movement Union Party and the counciller of Nikola
Sarkozi, Interior Minister.
